Aitch

Aitch is Thomas Elder (born July 24, 1984) an American musician, songwriter & multi-instrumentalist from Portland, OR. But don't be fooled, Aitch isn't just another solo artist playing under the guise of a band name. His band: James Florence, Christopher Fernandez, Timothy Neuenschwander, and Matthew Coello have had their fair share of influence too. The word aitch is the name of the letter H, which Thomas used when learning of its existence. Aitch's sound is self described as: "prolific use of syncopated polyrhythms offset with arpeggiated succession of relative minors.
